Isaiah 34:13-14

^{Tools

Her palaces will be overgrown with thorns;
her fortified cities, with thistles and briers.^(A)
She will become a dwelling for jackals,
an abode^(a) for ostriches.^(B)

The desert creatures will meet hyenas,
and one wild goat will call to another.
Indeed, the screech owl will stay there
and will find a resting place for herself.
